Tpp already passed and I sent my mail to my rep in canada asking them not to ratify it. That is the most I can do in canucklefuckistan without an armed revolution, and that is hard to from ns without good weaponary.

This is a map of the senate votes on the TPA, it doesn't necessarily mean that the senators are going to vote the same on the TPP, however if you live in a state that voted for it, it might be a higher priority to contact your senator.

Here is also a corresponding list of the senators names, party, location, and how they voted. I might make an updated version that has their contact info at some point. Color Coded in the same manner as the image.

This site http://www.exposethetpp.org/ has a link to one of those sites that has a zip code lookup that also generates and automated complaint; currently complaining about how Malaysia is a human rights violator; IMO that complaint is pointless to republican senators and representatives, however you can edit the Email to your liking on the page.

IMO you should ALWAYS edit the email to an extent, MOST IMPORTANTLY put a new paragraph at the top, explaining who you are, where you live, and what you are doing with your life.

I know, it sounds strange, but it adds a human connection to the message.

If you want to go above and beyond, copy the email message and send it from your email to each of them, with a personalized greeting at the top. i.e. Dear Senator So-and-so, Dear Representative So-and-so.

Example of new opening

>Good Morning Senator So-and-so

> My name is Anon, I ([am a student at {state college} majoring in{subject}] [work in {industry, field, or occupation}] [am a full time husband/wife] [anything else I couldn't think of]) [Insert details about how long you have been in your occupation] [state your party affiliations if they match, if they do no, state that while you are a registered other party but you don't always vote that way]. I am concerned about the Trans-Pacific Partnership, I am ([glad to see your voted against the TPA] [disappointed to see that your voted for the TPA]) and would like to inform you that I do not support the TPP. I would also merge the first paragraph of the automated message into the introduction paragraph

At the end give a personalized closing and sign your full name.

Afraid that your Email is too childish, embarrassing, or unprofessional? Don't know what to do for a new Email?

A simple idea for a professional sounding email is to put your initials then the first few letters of your last name, then a number that is not the year of your birth. I know its a security risk, unfortunately nromalfags are retards and this is what they expect to see, and what they take seriously.

If the US doesn't pass the TPP there is a chance the other countries involved will back out, or attempt to back out.

My main concern however, is that even if the US doesn't pass it, some of the corporations that were involved in it might try to move to the countries that already passed it, like Canada or Australia, however, I'm not sure how their corporate tax codes are and that would be a major factor in moving.

I think it means that opening arguments for Eron's appeal will be heard by the appeals court judges then. Unless there's a delay. Will likely have to wait for one of the lawfags to chime in on how this will all work. But if he wins the appeal, I guess the original gag order will be rescinded legally (it's already lapsed and LW tried to drop it anyway to save face and avoid this appeal). And if the original gag is rescinded legally, it will set legal precedent making it harder for future Borderline Personality Fags like LW from using the legal system to rob people of their first amendment rights (free speech).

It didn't make me a conservative, but it changed my opinion on a lot of things.

The biggest example is the Tea Party in the USA. For years, I heard that the Tea Party was racist and I just assumed they were. Now, having seen how the media will spin anything to protect its own narrative, I no longer agree with that.

>In 2013, a year after Marissa Mayer took the helm, Yahoo! acquired Tumblr for just over $1 billion. Now, not only has Tumblr failed to reach its projected $100 million in revenue for 2015 — which Mayer purports was due to “a slower ramp in monetization than initially expected” — Yahoo has slashed Tumblr’s valuation by $230 million, roughly a quarter of its $990 million valuation. According to The International Business Times, that $100 million that Tumblr failed to earn “would have barely moved the needle on Yahoo!’s $5 billion ad business” even if it had been met.

Fuck, if we had something like horse armor now people would be happy with it being so much less than what is normal now. All these bad trends in video games have become accepted. People getting creeped out of there being a but in video games.

Why shouldn't they? Video games are suppose to be art anon! and things are optional now, you dont HAVE to buy a 30$ horse armor pack of 10 variety choices? why would people be angry at something like thaaaat?

I'm just content with a tech site that actually reports tech news, not trigger warnings. As far as right-wing-left-wing issues are concerned, I'd be more than happy if they could leave their politics at the door. Wasn't that was GG was about from the beginning?

well yeah, but sometimes we need to be practical and realistic. How many actual news sites could you say are impartial? Some are more biased than others yes, but they all have some slant. Hopefully having both left and right wing sites will balance each other out.

Naw, I'd say we're living in Helck: The elite transform humanity into an army of mindless angel monsters to exterminate the peaceful demons, and the only one who can stop them is a dopey /fit/izen that everyone is fucking terrified of.

The irony is, twitter was the only platform that let GG go without interfering.

They let GG go for almost a year before they started fucking around.

Now that they're openly picking sides in political arguments, their stock is sinking like a rock. I would hope they're smart enough to notice the connection, but it hasn't seemed to click for them yet.

>Now that they're openly picking sides in political arguments, their stock is sinking like a rock. I would hope they're smart enough to notice the connection, but it hasn't seemed to click for them yet.

it's related in the sense that they think by censoring the platform more heavily it will become more popular and make them money.

Twitter is too big to fail, the only thing that can stand against it is Facebook which has similar issues.

Just opened my eyes that the media is a real progressive SJW "leftist" circlejerk, and journalists these days believe, due to issues in Russia and other countries with press freedom being shit, that they are in cozy Western countries some kind of "extinct species" fighting for truth and honesty.

They're only pissing on the graves of the greats that came before them, and it really opened my eyes on how ENTITLED :^) they are.

there is none, 2007-201X will be remembered for SJW and feminism. thats why it's so shit living now. when emo was popular you could make fun of them and it was ok. but make fun of feminism and you hate half of the earth population.

Normally I'd tell you to not respond to the retard, but if you're going to, be more lucid about it. I know he's here to shit up the thread, you know he's here to shit up the thread, but every one is being archived for posterity. Please either explain why he is wrong or don't respond. Polite sage for meta bullshit

Actual /pol/ anon here, you guys are going to get shilled hard in the next few months by not only the usual shills here on /v/ but the same faggots who've been shitting up /pol/.

The /v/ mumble has been on /pol/ causing D&C bringing up your BO all the time saying Nintendo cuck this and this that, its so fucking clear that they are shills yet due how shit /pol/ is now no one call this shit out anymore, the /v/ is left wing meme from s4t is still going yet when I look at these threads you guys remind me of /pol/ in fall 2014.

About the DiGRA shit I'm going to be honest it was more /pol/'s fault cause we really didn't dig much afterwards but again S4t really ruined digging for both /v/ and /pol/ for a fucking while, I'm probably to bunker on these threads and /n/ for a while to help out cause fuck /pol/ is shit.

Don't remind me that was a cluster fuck, but I see you guys have stopped being lazy and have a pretty good OP going on translators Downpour was it? Anyway you guys need to keep working on OPs and we need to get on top of TPP.

It was such a retarded OP I mean it was one of pure pasta spilling Revolt fags are a reason /pol/ went to shit, /pol/ harbour is the biggest reason then faggot mods like imkunty just added to the shit show.

I'm hyped for XCOM2 right now. Some have been asking if it's good and worth it and I'd say definitely. XCOM:EU/EW+DLC is a steamdeal right now for 6€. So if you don't know if you'll like XCOM2, just grab XCOM:EW and check it out.

That's a start, but I'd like to see the opposite - an index of overlooked games, because either the clique journos ignored them (devs aren't their personal friends/fuckbuddies) or we, the gamers, didn't sweep them up in a spontaneous viral thing.

Okay ignore every other person shilling for the censorship on the youtube channel, on the facebook and on twitter and everywhere else that has been posted on these boards for the past couple of weeks, these are just the two recent ones i saved over the last thread talking about said censorship issue but if you want more I could provide, let me just head on over to the Fire Emblem thread or on tumblr for a quick look on what people there are bitching about

Yes, twitter and them are dying platforms, but you cant deny there's an over abundance of censorship apologist anon, being a smarmy cunt wont do you good.

You are talking about niche or small indie games? I can't think of some right now that I would endorse. The last Indie game that I got hyped for (Skyshine: Bedlam) turned out to be absolute shit. I regret to even have tweeted articles about it.

Seriously, what drives a man to waste a year of his life to spout the same bullshit over and over to people who don't even want him there? If you harnessed the power of your autism for something constructive, you could have written a new GG wiki from scratch by now.

I don't know if you are aware, but I'm working on a user-review site that's a unique concept. I've been working on it for several years and it's pretty close to being complete.

It's designed to be a complete alternative to clique sites with everything created by actual gamers.

There's a lot to it and I haven't shared everything yet. But I've been listening to gamergate for a long time (I started working on the site before gamergate) and there's a lot of things on the site you guys have been asking for for a long time. Some of which were promised by others and never delivered.

The reviews are a sort of mini-review that's more like a forum post, i.e. you do things like post a screenshot of terrible memes in localization and it counts as a review that can be voted on and discussed. From there the site does some cool stuff and it calculates a score, which changes over time and comes with a cool graph showing the change over time.

I have a twitter https://twitter.com/GameSensedotCo. You can follow there for updates. I spend most of my time developing so I'm not into shilling my stuff that much. It's open for beta applicants right now but I'm just looking for motivated people to provide feed back on the site on what should be changed as well as people who like to talk about video games (and related stuff) to help boot strap the site with content.

The score is designed to change over time and provide history of the changes, so for example, if a game releases buggy, you can write a mini-review saying it's buggy and you should wait. And if the game cleans up it's buggy mess the score will go up. It also properly accommodates things like Splatoon releasing with little content and then fixing that later in the game's life. I just announced it only a few days ago.

The basic idea is that instead of waiting for other people to make an alternative, we just make our own together.

Valve is a storefront. If people pay them to hype shit, they will. It's the same thing if you se retail shilling games real hard. There's really no conflict of interest or anything like that. It's advertisement.

The Steam Store front page is a rent-able billboard. Anyone with enough cash can have their shit game posted on it.

Most publications started disclosing their relationship so there isn't much to do on that front. We are still calling them out when they push agendas, but as always they dismiss our criticism as hatespeech. We are currently heavily invested in fighting against unnecessary 'localization', e.g. removing features of games, changing meaning of scripts, including unnecessary memes, etc. in games especially from Nintendo that get changed by Nintendo of America.

Gawker was burning, but was saved by some russian billionaire (for now). Leigh Alexander left Offworld (and vidya) just recently. Gawker closed one of their sub-sites. Twitter is burning and we are blamed for it.

Airplay2, #SavePoint panel at SXSW, Hogan's Case, Eron Gjoni's Case, all are coming up in March.

Once upon a time the Mary Whitehouse brigade were the advocates for moral purity in media and the leftists wanted freedom of expression. It's funny how these things go in circles. It's like how progressivists now believe homosexuality is a choice.

Socjus is parasitic to fandoms, feeding on them to further its lifecycle. Right now games still resemble games, fun pieces of entertainment: if we fail, gaming will become a mere vehicle for propaganda.

No way they believe it. The SJWs spent the last year telling everyone that Twitter has a harassment problem, it's filled with bad people, implying it's not safe, etc. The SJWs response to gamergate damaged Twitter way more than we did.

Think about it. If you're someone not overly familiar with Twitter and you see all these headlines about how Twitter has this harassment problem and it's home to terrible people, you'll just assume Twitter is a bad place filled with bad people and move on. If you have an account you haven't used in a while and think about going back on Twitter, you see all this bad stuff about it and it encourages you to not go back.

They are scared of the SJWs, they more than likely want them to stop all this negative PR for Twitter. If they keep them around, they have them ruin their brand like they're doing. If they get rid of them, they're seen as doing all sorts of sjw stuff like "promoting harassment". They can't win because of the sjw, and that's exactly why you see so many engineers and people leaving Twitter.

The thing is gamergate is far from the worst thing on Twitter. You have ISIS there, and lots of other much worse things. Twitter wouldn't be in this position if gamergate didn't exist, I'm not trying to sell you guys short. But the sjw response to gamergate is what really ruined Twitter. Even the fake gamergate people who just use the hash tag to troll and give gamergate a bad name aren't as bad as the worst parts of Twitter.

It's a good lesson, because it basically shows that all you have to do is be persistent if sjws are in control of something and they eventually destroy it. They eventually move to a position where they basically attack the site they are on in order to purge wrong think. And in doing so it drives neutrals away. Which oddly enough means it's better to just take their shit from "not being diverse" and the regular organized slander they do, because they're going to give you bad PR no matter if you reject them or accept them.

Why is GitHub even a thing? I mean Linus Torvalds invented git, right? Seems a cloud-based version would be open source and donation based if anything. Not some company needing VC money and trying to turn a major profit. Just seems retarded.

It became the biggest git service. People trusted their code with it. Then people realized they could build their resumes by contributing to free software, so everyone started dropping their code in the same area to maximize the amount of potential contributors. Now most people think nobody will bother to contribute if they put their code somewhere else because it won't add to their Shithub e-peen.

Pretty much. That's a good way of putting it. And of course they always project, so they won't admit they're the ones ruining things. Have you ever convinced a dumbass to do something stupid? That's basically what we do.

>The thing is gamergate is far from the worst thing on Twitter. You have ISIS there, and lots of other much worse things

SJWs should be recognized to be either cancer or parasites by busineses by now. Management don't. Why? Because many companies often have HR and/or PR departments (or considerations). Who mans these depts? People who have had women's studies shoved down their throats.

Either way github is dying considering many of their top executives left due to either it being a sinking ship or they were fed up with bullshit. Then you have it where they ended up banning a shit ton of their best contributors for stupid reasons. Remember the eggplant shit where a guy was banned for posting eggplants in comments?

South Korea bro/Gook fag has been showing us what a life under an SJW government would be like. As their facade is now beginning to crack, I propose we spread more awareness of what's going in on South Korea, condemn it, so that others can't attempt the same in the west.

We have an almost literal portal into a possible future. We'd be fools not to show others.

The other thing we need to consider is what we do next after twitter falls. Twitter actually helped red-pill a lot of people, and no doubt someone else will try and claim the crown. We need to make sure who-ever rises next doesn't censor a damn thing. Globally illegal stuff? Sure. But no political censorship of any kind. If a popular but "controlled" website rises up, we need to take it down. "Don't argue with pigs or you'll both be covered in shit." That's exactly what we need to do. "Oh god, Gamergate is complaining about ThoughtSpeak. Ugh. I don't want to got to that website with those creeps."
